Unai Simon reacts after failing to hold on to a seemingly innocuous back pass from teammate Pedri.

Staying with the Spain-Croatia eight-goal Euro 2020 thriller, Pedri putting one into his own net marked the ninth own goal of the tournament, which is as many as all the previous editions of the competition combined.

Spain beat Croatia 5-3 after extra time to book their place in the semi-finals. That made La Furia Roja the first team in European Championship history to score five goals in successive games.

Italy celebrate after their Euro 2020 win over Austria

Finally, we move to a game that doesn't feature Spain and Croatia.

After failing to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Italy have been on a roll under Roberto Mancini. The Azzurri produced a perfect qualifying campaign to qualify for Euro 2020, where they won each of their three group games.

They beat Austria after extra time in the Round of 16 to extend their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 31 games.

That marks Italy's longest winning streak in all competitions in their history, beating their previous record of 30 which they recorded between 1935 and 1939.

The Azzurri will now take on Belgium in a blockbuster Euro 2020 quarter-final clash later this week.
